@raynightlife: they look sturdy but your weight will cause the log to sink, and slippery algae will send you falling into the water where a vacuum effect (when a person steps on the log, it forces the log deeper in lake and water outwards. As the person falls, water rushes back fast creating a downward current) pulls you under. Escaping becomes a nightmare for three main reasons. You cannot push off the deep lake bottom to reach the surface. next, the rotting wood crumbles in your hands when you try to grab the edge to pull yourself out. The freezing glacial water instantly shocks and paralyzes your body. Always avoid stepping on these floating "graves" and share this warning with other outdoor enthusiasts to help save lives. #Hiking #lakes #joffreelake

Trey :

These glacier lakes are awesome for swimming in after a long hike. Idk why people are saying it’s dangerous

j_nny.jpg :

Idk what this conspiracy is that a floating log will somehow "suck you under" water. Its not true

Landry54 :

None of y’all read the caption, jumping off to swim is fine, standing on it when it sinks down is when it becomes dangerous

Hayden Thomas Finch :

There is no liquid surface water cold enough to not be able to get out of under these circumstances

Fen :

HighSierraAngler :

My man I’ve slide into a lake off of a literal glacier, the cold water shocks you but it doesn’t paralyze you 😂
